NEWS ITEM in Jersey Evening Post
of Saturday 3 June 1916
The Naval Battle - Jerseymen Amongst Those
who have Perished. The terrible news of the great naval
battle has cast quite a gloom over the Island for a
number of Jerseymen are known to have been serving on
one or another of the vessels that have been lost. Amongst
these is Engineer Lieutenant Stanley Nelson de Quetteville,
only son of Mr & Mrs de Quetteville of 13 David
Place. Lieutenant de Quetteville, who was 28, had taken
up the profession of an engineer and some years ago
decided to go out to Canada where he entered the Canadian
Navy, being subsequently transferred to the Imperial
British Navy. He was serving on the Indefatigable and
the news of his loss has been conveyed by the Admiralty
to the sorrowing parents. About 12 months ago the deceased
officer was married and to the widow and to his parents
we would tender our sincere sympathy in their bereavement.
A total of 26 Jerseymen are believed to have lost their
lives in the Naval Battle of Jutland on 31 May 1916
and on HMS Hampshire which sank on 6 June 1916 after
striking a mine off the Orkneys.
